Elements of Construction Defect Case
In order for a court to find a construction team liable for a construction defect, the specific condition under review must have:
- Resulted from, or be associated with, a violation of applicable building codes
- Resulted from construction practices that are below the required standard of care in the building industry
- Resulted from a deviation from the plans and specifications
- Fell below the reasonable expectations of the property owner
Even if liability appears obvious, there are many issues and possible defenses to a defect claim. You will likely need a member of an experienced law firm to help guide you through the claims process in order to achieve the highest likelihood of recovery.
